Select Board grants several tax abatements, tables and denies others; rec center exemption raised
Summary
At its April 1 meeting the board recorded multiple abatement decisions from the DRA, granting many reductions (including a $63,900 abatement for Michael & Elizabeth Knight) and tabling or denying others; a motion on a 2025 tax forgiveness for North Country Community Rec Center was made and tabled.
The Colebrook Select Board reviewed and acted on a batch of abatement requests submitted through the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration (DRA).
The minutes record multiple granted abatements with adjusted values and abatement amounts: Michael & Elizabeth Knight (adjusted value $305,050; abatement $63,900), Peter Dumont (adjusted value $62,900; abatement $29,200), Frederick & Sylvia Jennings (adjusted value $68,400; abatement $25,500), among others. Several requests were tabled for later consideration and some were denied because property owners accepted the new assessed value.
Greg Placy moved 'that the board forgives the 2025 tax bill, not including water and sewer, and that the board accepts for 2026 the exemption, due to Charitable Exemption status' for the North Country Community Rec Center; Ray seconded the motion and Sue Collins abstained. That motion was recorded as tabled until the next meeting for final action.
